to compliment the "useless items" thread... what items did you find surprisingly useful in your bonnaroo adventures?

for me?a BLANKET... i had no idea how cold it would be at night, and only brought a sheet with me, luckily a fellow inforooster let me borrow his blanket so don't forget your blankets/sleeping bags, kids!

Tarps, you can't bring enough. They provide shade from the farms sun and shelter from any rain, if we could only be so lucky as to get some wetness on the farm. Bring some rope so you can rig them up between your camp and your neighbors. My neighbors have always been more than happy to help with the set up cause they too get some shade.

One of these high sierra hydration packs. It still has enough room to carry any miscellaneous item you may need. THat and hidden pockets scattered around make for easy hiding of small items. Fill it with gatorade water and you are good for a while.

UNDERARMOUR!!!!

I'm usually a boxer man and was skeptical at first about tighty blackies. Let me tell you.... they rock for running, hiking, almost anything you do where you're going to get sweaty... like hiking around Bonnaroo in the June TN sun.

Duct tape (fixes almost everything). No one around us had any and I so became Mr. Fix-It and a battery powered fan. The white noise sound drifted me off to sleep reltively easy and kept my tent cool in the morning, which allowed me to sleep in a little longer than without.

^^^THIS is a good philosophy....

I think someone might have mentioned it on here but one of those rubber mallet things, those are always a high commodity around our campsite, we usually only have one for about four tents....in 07 we had 2 for for 7 tents, we certainly would have welcomed more.

Pre-made PB&J sandwiches in the cooler. Put a thin layer of butter on the jelly side so it doesn't seep through and they're good for a couple days. Quick and familiar snack or meal.... and easy to share!
